Subway Canada has made two key staff appointments. Dennie Downie is the head of marketing of Canada and Reza Kouhang is the head of development for Canada, according to a press release.

Downie brings more than 15 years of restaurant and retail leadership experience and will play a pivotal role in expanding Subway Canada's offerings while delivering innovative and engaging marketing initiatives.
